Description
Hello!
We are enthusiastic, adaptable, and easy-going individuals with a strong passion for the outdoors and meeting new people. Currently, we both work at a charity-run Outdoor Education Centre, delivering a wide range of land and water-based activities to participants of all ages and abilities. This fast-paced environment has developed our skills in organization, teamwork, and communication, as well as our ability to stay positive, energetic, and hands-on in any situation. We are eager to travel, embrace new experiences, and contribute our enthusiasm and skills to projects around the world.
I (Aoife ) have just graduated from University gaining a degree in Biological Sciences. In my free time, I play Gaelic football which involves training several times a week and in a team environment. Therefore i strive working alongside others and always promote an encouraging atmosphere. I also have a passion for Drama, and competed during my adolescence. This has also proved a positive skill, for confidence and bringing a fun attitude to the table. I grew up caring for all sorts of farm and domestic pets all my life, and continue to do so. I enjoy the outdoors, and new cultural experiences.
Hola! Myself (Alex), I'm an enthusiast for the outdoors and sports in general. Graduated in sports science but with a love for education. My interest in other languages has grown in the past few years, getting to a C1 Proficiency level with Cambridge University. One of my favorite things to do is cooking and eating, so I am always up for a feast and a good conversation. I am a people person and I am very comfortable on different environments as I've been living in Ireland for the last 4 years.

More details about your skills
Aoife and Alex,
We are hard-working, honest, and high energy characters that try and help as much as we can in any situation. Very reliable, organized and respectable individuals that are willing to learn and gain new skills and experiences. Thanks to working with wide range of disabilities, we are adaptable and capable people when quick decision making and good communication is needed. We both are comfortable in new environments as we have moved away from home in different situations, work, study, volunteer, etc.
We both have experience in coaching and teaching, which has developed our understanding of personal, listening and problem-solving skills.
